1.We can never prevent an earthquake. It is a force of nature and the power released is incredibly large．
我們永遠無法預防地震。地震是自然力量的體現，它所釋放的能量非常大。
2.However, we can take precautions to reduce loss of life and property damage.
但是，我們能采取預防措施減少生命和財產損失。
3.One efficient way to reduce the damage is to design buildings that conform to the seismic zoning of the area.
一個減少損害的有效方法是根據當地地震帶的分布情況設計樓房。
4.Remember that earthquakes do not usually kill. Buildings,tidal waves (tsunami), falling objects,stupidity and ignorance do.
要記住，地震并不一定會造成人員死亡。造成人員死亡的往往是樓房、海嘯、高空墜物、愚昧和無知。
5.through historical and past data, seismic agencies around the world are able to compile statistical estimates and probabilities of an earthquake of certain magnitude occurring within a period of time over a certain fault or area.
通過歷史和以往的數據，世界各地的地震機構能夠從統計學的角度估計某一斷層或某一地區一定時間內發生一定強度的地震的概率，對發生地震的可能性進行預測。
